I love it too! We scatter seed thickly and harvest thinnings in whole little heads for wonderful, tender salads each night. I use about as much arugula as I do lettuce. Yum! I was lucky enough to get more of these seeds for free with my order from Baker Creek!

I'm in the same boat as you!  The last two years have sucked regarding harvesting tomatoes.  Last year at an auction we got a huge roll of fence, but its that really strong welded wire stuff.  Anyway we hope to make at least 8 or so giant cages for the tomatoes with those but are still trying to figure out how to deal with the rest.  Keep us posted on ideas.  If we come up with anything I'll let you know.

We have a large supply of myriad fencing wire, but I hesitate to use it because I'm afraid it will make harvesting difficult. Perhaps we should try a few methods to determine which works best for next year... more »

We tried a fence for our tomatoes last year.  Worked well, except we over planted (I think) and they were a bit over crowded and did not produce as well as they could have.  We had about a 30 foot stretch of fence with two taller (8ft ish) posts about 5 foot in from the ends.  Then we strung a wire from the top of the first post, over the top of the two 8ft posts and lastly to the end post.  Then we planted the tomatoes close to the fence (wire) so we could tie the branches to the wire as they grew..  we also brought string lines from the "high wire" and tied the branches to that also.  We will be working it again this year, and expect to see good results.  We figure we will make another matching fence, then we can rotate and put peas or beans on the older one.  Might even work for our pickling cucumbers.
